New Card Suggestion

[Ragequit]

Hi, Im looking to upgrade my graphics card with budget of around £200. I want a card that is quiet and that is a huge improvement on my GTX 580.

Thanks

I would go a tad higher (£230-£250) and go for an R290X.

This, the jump from £200 280X to a 290X is a solid 30% in performance, its worth it.

Got a suitable PSU and case for a good GFX card?

iirc that means it was sold today.

90 day warranty? I'd just wait to see if they drop in price.

And whatever remains of the manufacturer warranty.

There might be some rare occasion where a warranty is not transferable, but Gigabyte are ok in that regard.

Only time I've ever seen ETA is as above where it's already been sold or so, but hopefully that one is right/late and it'll come in tomorrow

You seem to be able to get 970s for around £200 used at the moment, and 290X for even cheaper
It's a bit of an odd price to be honest at the moment, 280X is a bit overpriced and 290 is just above it

Not to criticise the 290X, but the OP has mentioned wanting something quiet, and although I've ordered one myself I'm led to believe they're not the quietest.

The Windforce cooler is one of the good ones, but the Vapor-X/Tri-X are better.

Thanks guys! Great suggestions, can you recommend any Nvidia cards as well?

Well there's the 960 @ £150, used 970s at around £220 and new 970s at £260 onwards
